Minor Physical Anomalies in Schizophrenia

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1994
Using the Waldrop scale, minor physical anomalies were studied in 82 Caucasian subjects, including 41 schizophrenic and 8 bipolar adults, as well as 14 normal and 19 mentally retarded adults. An increased incidence of minor physical anomalies was found in the mentally retarded adults relative to the other groups. Consistent with previous studies, there

Temperament and minor physical anomalies.

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1982
Minor physical anomalies (MPAs) are an index of deviant embryological development due to genetic defects of insults to the fetus. A brief 10-minute examination an an individual makes it possible to establish a count that shown highly stable individual differences from the newborn period up to age seven years, the latest age studied longitudinally.

Hyperactive behavior and minor physical anomalies

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1985
ABSTRACT– Minor physical anomalies (MPAs) are congenital abnormalities of body structure which reflect fetal maldevelopment. They originate in the same embryonic layer that produces the central nervous system, and it is reasoned that MPAs are markers of nervous system anomalies.

Minor Physical Anomalies in Exceptional Children

Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
Increasing attention is being paid to biological causes of learning disabilities, and many studies have been mode associating minor physical anomalies (MPAs) with disease, hyperkinesis in boys, and hypokinesis in girls. In an examination of 1,046 children, low-income children had more MPAs than those from middle-income, while middle income children ...

Minor physical anomalies in mentally healthy subjects: Internal consistency of the Waldrop Physical Anomaly Scale

American Journal of Human Biology, 2003
AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of minor physical anomalies in mentally healthy subjects by using the Waldrop Physical Anomaly Scale and to assess the reliability (internal consistency) of the scale. The subjects were 82 mentally healthy individuals (42 men, 40 women) of Bulgarian origin who were examined for minor ...

The Pioneer anomaly and new physics

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2012
AbstractThe Pioneer anomaly is one of the most important problems in modern physics. The observed blueshift of the Doppler signals coming back from the space probes Pioneer 10 and 11 is interpreted as being due to an anomalous acceleration ap = (8.74 ± 1.33) × 10–8 cm s–2 towards the Sun. In this paper the blueshift is explained by the frequency shifts

Minor physical anomalies and obstetric complications in schizophrenia

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 2000
ObjectiveTo evaluate the possibility of using congenital minor physical anomalies (MPA) and obstetric complications (OC) as individual-orientated, early life markers signalling increased risk for schizophrenia.MethodPrevious findings using Waldrop and colleagues' MPA scale (and additional items) and systematic study of OC history are summarised ...

Minor Physical Anomalies and Behavior in Preschool Children

Child Development, 1968
In 2 samples of 2,1-year-old children, the presence of multiple minor physical anomalies was found to be positively associated with hyperkinetic, aggressive, impatient, and intractable behavior. Out of approximately 100 reliable behavioral variables, 18 in 1 sample and 16 in the other correlated significantly with weighted scores for minor physical ...

Incidence of minor physical anomaly in autism

Journal of Autism and Childhood Schizophrenia, 1977
Children diagnosed as autistic were matched by age and sex with 74 control subjects and examined for presence of minor physical anomalies. Of the 16 anomalies scored, autistic children demonstrated a significant accumulation greater than the number exhibited by normal children. Three of the stigmata--low seating of ears, hypertelorism, and syndactylia--

Physical Realization of the Parity Anomaly in Condensed Matter Physics

Physical Review Letters, 1986
We show that a PbTe-type narrow-gap semiconductor with an antiphase boundary (or domain wall) has currents of abnormal parity and induced fractional charges. A model is introduced which reduces the problem to the physics of a Dirac equation with a soliton in background electric and magnetic fields.
